Hi All...
I got married on October 6, 2011 in USA and been living here on valid student visa before and after that.
Here is my predicament...
1) If I get approved before October 6, I would get a conditional PR for two years. In that case, can I apply I 751 any time after October 6, 2013 to remove condition or I would have to wait until 2015 to remove condition?
2) What is the date USCIS would consider when deciding which PR to grant, two year or ten year? The date of the interview? Or the date when the take decision and order the green card? Or some other date that they process the paperwork?
What would be the smart strategy in this case? Should I try to slow down and try to reschedule the interview so that it falls after October 6? Or if it is close to that date but before it, just go ahead and request a 10 year card instead of two years? If I get approved on same day, then I am not sure they would entertain such a request.
In the long term I am thinking it would be beneficial for me since I am so close to completing two years to marriage, that it is worth getting 10 year green card than two year one. That avoids me dealing with the hassle in two years or two months depending on when I can apply to remove PR.
It seems I may have applied one month early than I should have. I want to get over the process asap too, but contemplating if I should pray for it too move a tad bit slow, but not too slow and certainly not with hiccups
lol...
Would appreciate if you have any thoughts ...
Thanks
